Julien Grall 5c65f9d5fc tools/libxc: misc: Mark const the parameter 'keys' of xc_send_debug_keys()
OCaml is using a string to describe the parameter 'keys' of
xc_send_debug_keys(). Since Ocaml 4.06.01, String_val() will return a
const char * when using -safe-string. This will result to a build
failure because xc_send_debug_keys() expects a char *.

The function should never modify the parameter 'keys' and therefore the
parameter should be const. Unfortunately, this is not directly possible
because DECLARE_HYPERCALL_BOUNCE() is expecting a non-const variable.

A new macro DECLARE_HYPERCALL_BOUNCE_IN() is introduced and will take
care of const parameter. The first user will be xc_send_debug_keys() but
this can be used in more place in the future.
